Notes: Highly recruited Parade All-American who also competed in basketball, track and baseball as a Mississippi prep. Had ankle surgery in 2006. Academic standing was tenuous late into recruiting process and chose Southern Miss over offers from top Southeastern Conference schools. As a true freshman in '08, started 7-of-13 games and set a single-season school receptions record by producing 67 catches for 1,117 yards (16.7-yard average) and 12 touchdowns. Added two kickoff returns for 27 yards (13.5). In the Golden Eagles' bowl game against Troy, suffered a midshaft fracture of his left tibia and was not cleared for contact until the week of the '09 season opener. Played in 11 games (three starts) in '09, catching 47-785-9 (16.7). Sat out the first game and the UAB contest (shoulder). Arrested in July '10 on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge after failing to leave a party when police tried to disperse a large crowd. Was bothered by a hamstring injury during fall camp and missed seven games because of a lower leg strain. Totaled 20-305-3 (15.3) in six games, with one start, in part due to inconsistent effort.

Positives: Rare size - huge frame with long arms. Big catching radius. Athletic and fluid for his size, with natural receiving skills. Good concentration to track throws and catch in traffic. Competitive and effective in the red zone. Can go over the top of defensive backs and snatch throws. Finds soft spots in zone. Surprising vision and the ability to open up his stride after the catch. Tough to bring down.

Negatives: Inconsistent. Attitude and work ethic are concerns. Has a giant ego, thinks he is better than he is and does not know what it means to be a professional. Route running needs work. Marginal production. Did not show the same speed and burst after returning from his leg injury. Durability is an issue - has been injured dating back to high school. Character and maturity need to be considered. Recorded a 29-inch vertical jump, lowest among receivers at the Combine.

Summary: A rare-sized, long-limbed receiver who looked like a first-round talent early in his career but has yet to regain freshman form since suffering a gruesome injury. Hasn't demonstrated the maturity desired at the professional level. Has no special-teams value, and medical and character flags could knock him off draft boards. Could draw some interest as an H-back.
